damn son you dun good rusheh

looks like we're more modern, now that you used gifs for the first time! :D

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

Thanks, I was shooting for modern. ;)

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

I like how on the tight rolls gif you miss everything, shows how fun those are :)

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

Jumpjacks?
But nice thread, good explanations. :3

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

I disagree on this use of Jumptrills. Jumstream isn't a stream consisting completely of jumps, that would just be (timing here)-jumps, like sixteenth jumps, it's stream with jumps within it. Therefore to me, jumptrills are trills with jumps within the trill.

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

Jumptrills are most definitely trills between 2 jumps.
Jumpstream is most definitely stream with jumps in it.

Not even up for discussion.

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

Haha, I agree with this. It's a skill people learn nonetheless, whether it's logical or not, it's a solid part of songs now. You can't expect to get rid of it.

Wall: Cluster**** of arrows. XD Epic

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

There's no actual name for a stream of jumps like in Piano Etude (Gymnastics) or a trill with jumps in it like in K8107.

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

How about jumpcluster as a name? or Clusterjump..

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

I've been calling them jumpgluts

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

Gonna have to disagree with the triplets one. Only because the rhythm for a triplet is completely different rhythm than the one posted. The rhythm you put is

1e&, 2e&. (if you know music)

Triplets are 3 notes stretched over a beat (or 2 depending on note lengths etc.) in 3's.

So I think the correct name would be Triple.

edit: you also forgot chains.

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

I haven't seen this since before you updated it. Nice overhaul, looks a lot more organized, however, you might want to rerecord all the gifs with max combo and accuracy off =P

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

A long while back I picked up a technique, I believe from Shashakiro, that involved screen shrinking with my browser, but I definitely want to say he had a more specific name for it. I basically shrink my browser window down, line it up with the game itself on either side, and cut the screen in half horizontally. I began to play a lot better for it than I did normally.

Anyone know what he called that?

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

I would agree, but reading music and labeling stepmania patterns are two different things in my opinion. You don't call alternating notes in music trills, and you don't call a continuous roll of three notes arpeggio. I think triplets are fine, as they are a more notable pattern in stepmania, versus 12ths.

Edit: I looked up arpeggio in wikipedia to make sure I was using the correct term, and I found this bit at the end. It's pretty interesting. Kommisar?

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

Actually in most music alternating notes is a trill :p

But I see your point now.

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

While these terms might not be musically correct, they are the common names of the patterns when it comes to FFR/SM terminology.

@Poptart: I can't rerecord with combo and masking off because my engine doesn't have that option.

@cedo: Chains are the first pattern.

@Vampeel: Screencutting.

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

It makes more sense in FFR for "triplet" to mean a xxx.xxx.xxx. 16th pattern, compared to a solid 12th pattern. because that latter one would just be described as "12th notes" or "12ths" and so we don't need another name for it.

I think "jumpglut" is a great name for a group of jumps which intersect (i.e. form jacks) at some points. So this would describe certain hard parts in Across Rooftops, Black Key Etude, Death Piano, and Piano Etude (Gymnastics).

I suggest adding "grace note" (any better names?) for a note with a differently colored note very close to it, such as a 4th with a 48th immediately after. It's similar to a gallop, but so fast that you wouldn't want to hit the notes separately.

Re: The Official FFR Picture Dictionary
 

Yeah, I'd think grace note is a good descriptor, as it is for music in general.
